IrAWRBNCB McRAE, J. H. White, Business Manager Assistant Manager, All matter intended for publication should bo ad name 01 writer. Entered at the Post 0ice in Chapel Hill, N, C. as ' V - second-class mail matter. ' ' -, For some time past, rumors that our honor system, is being" abused, have been 'heard around college. Often men have been heard to make remarks about such and such a man cheating on examination.and especially on intermediate examina , tions. . ' ' This offence is one which the stu dents, alone, should handle and con demn and The Tar Heel thinks it the duty of every man who knows of such a case, to report that case to the class of which the offender is a member. It is the only method by which we can keep our honor system above reproach and, surely, no member of the University would wish any other system than the one we have. ' The Faculty, trusting in the honor of the -students, have left ; this matter to the students, and we can not afford to let this confidence be misplaced. Nor can we afford to let any one, who is low enough to . cheat on examination, remain tn our midsti So, if you are certain, that ."iv one, be he Senior or Freshman, is guilty of cheating, let his class know it, we predict that the Class will be just enough to give him twenty four hours to leave the Hill. Such a man does not de serve more. At a meeting of the Freshman Class on Friday night, Feb. 21st., their subscription to the Young Men's Christian Building was rais ed one -hundred and fifty dollars. The Class has contributed now over one thousand dollars. The canvass is being carried on still and it is expected several hundred more will be added. The class of-'99 is to be congratulated on coming out ahead of all others except the present Sophomore Class, .whose contribution amounts to nearly eighteen hundred dollars. The Building Fund has now reached nine thousand, three hundred and fifty dollars. lecturer comes had an opportunity of hearing these , ideas explained? This has not been the case -with most of the lectures. It was once the custom in the Uni versity to have a lecture from some member of the Faculty every month. This custom' has been abandoned entirely. Not a member of the Faculty, the Presinent being excep ted has lectured during this year. True, we have had several lect ures but all have been for money and not for the students benefit.' A series of lectures by the Fac ulty would do a great deal to Widen our Faculty idea. We now regard the Faculty not as men but as ' in struments by which a certain a- mount of knowledge can be poured into the student, A lecture would serve to put the student and the lecturer in a new relation. He would no longer be regarded as an instru ment but as a man, having a well defined system of ideas. , ' We have not as yet reached the j point of having lectures from mem bers of the Faculty as is the custom in;some of our . larger Institutions. There each member of the Faculty, is rerired on salary every seventh year, and can study or travel at wish. . Such , men have, the;, op portunity of getting up something new. We can not have this. But we can have the larger ideas in each department put before the entire student body. And the Faculty cau add greatly to the advantages of the student by establishing such a course of lectures. winnners in each of the events This should certainly be done and we hope the college will give the management its support in whatever plan they think best to adopt. The. Cantain has called for more men and we hope that they will come out. We should all do our best to aid in giving Track ath letics a good start and putting them if on the scale which they deserve And we can not do it in any" way but bv having a food team this J . c- r- year. So come on and he,lp all you can. Make the Field Day a sue cess. ' We notice with pleasure the grow ing demand for a number of our Fac ulty to lecture away from the Hill, often in other states and before or ganization. of a national reputa tion. In our opinion this is a just recognition of - merit. We have well equipped Faculty, our means being taken into consideration. This demand hHowh that other arc re cognizing thi fact.

Medical Faculty has decid ed to jadd the , second year to our medical jourse, tne pian toraKe et feet next year,v Arrangements have been made by which the course will then be accepted as the first two years in some of the Northern col leges and we hope the Faculty will be able to add more colleges to the list. It is a plan which will enable the student to lessen his expenses appreciably , without diminishing his opportunity for a useful and thorough medical education. . ' We wish the plan much" success and hope to see many of the Medi cal class of '96 on the Hill next year. .. : . . ' f . , , , m m - In most of our Northen and many of the Southern colleges, Track Athletics have gained a place equal almost to foot ball and base ball. Here, in our own University, it has been almost impossible to main tain a track team and every effort to establish this branch of Athletics has resulted in failure. But through the generosity of one of our fellow studeets, a track has been built and a team organized. This is a valuable donation to us. For aside from the benefit which will result to the men themselves, it will give a new interest to the students. And as most of the training will be done in the early spring, during that period in which we net;d such an in terest, we think it is a step which will refill t in good to the Univcmi ty generally, In another column, we give an ac count of the plan for our VU Ul Day this year, We think the plan good in 4,-vi'ry rvsvxi, Jiui we arc told that tiSori are now bring made, and plan JiM'U!M'ij, whi n by Miila- dc j j'izt may fi' oifrnd to JJj- Any one who will study for a moment our list of public men, will find a striking lack of a leading spirit. The number of such men is large but none stands out pre-emi nent as a moulder of public senti ment. There is not a man in the State capable of moulding senti ment solely from the standpoint of risrht. Often do we hear of a man's leading a multitude, but this is done bv an appeal to some passion which he knows is weak. This is only a device for themoment, such a victory has few lasting qual ities. It only causes men to break away from the old order, without giving them any thing better to take its place. The leader has not an alysed the needs, nor does he know what will be the result of, the sen timent he creates.' Our public men have not degen erated in character. We still have among us the same stability which has put North Carolinians ahead in the past. , But this power is misdi rected, or is latent No man knows when or how it should be imployed This is due to a lack of a syste matic philosophical training, buch a training not only gives one a thorough knowledge of his own a bilities but it also enables him to form a just estimate of the ability of others. When the crisis comes, having this knowledge of our own power and that of others, we are to see before us, and shape circum stances to meet the need rather than letting the circumstances make the needs.' The movement is no longer blind but guided. One no longer rides to victory on a wave of senti ment but rises as the movement de velops. He is sure of his position, no outburst is necessary. Every student in the University will have a need for this power. There will be stages' in our lives where such a power will prove in valuable. The proper step at the ricrht time means success. Those who have been leaders of men recog this tact. l ney took no step or used no meavs without first fore cast the results . The time to obtain such training is in youth. We now have the op portunity to develop this talent. Will it then not be wise to enter life armed with its own weapons? Dr. Hume is in great demand asa lecturer.

In clipping the hair with scis sors, this hollow is left open, and the hair loses its life-giving properties. I have a Machine named the Singeing Ma chine, which removes the hair and at the same time closes up the hollow, causing the hair to retain its life-givincr properties, and therefore stopping the hair from falling out or dying, and giving it a soft growth.
